Honda Integra DC5 (Japanese: ??????? DC5 ) is the fourth and last generation of Honda Compact compact sport coupe, introduced in Japan on April 13, 2001 and was produced from July 2001 to July 2006. It was introduced in North America for the 2002 model as Acura RSX (name changed from Integra because Honda wants customers to connect cars with the Acura brand, as opponents of nameplate like "Integra", "Legend." That does not mean anything).
In line with Integra's introduction of Integra platform partners, the seventh-generation Civic was introduced in 2000, Integra joined the Civic in abandoning the traditional double-wishbone Honda suspension at both ends and adopting the MacPherson struts in the front and the arm trailing suspension in the rear along with the K-series engine new replaces the B-series.
The K-series engine has a smart VTEC (or i-VTEC), which electronically adjusts the valve lift, valve duration and valve timing, giving the engine a 2.0 Â ° L flat torque curve relative to previous VTEC implementations that only adjust valve lift and valve duration.
The Integra DC5 received a facelift on the 2005 model year. The headlights and rear light assemblies lose what is called a 'teardrop' shape. This makes the assembly blend with the bumper.
